Asparagus spears snap off naturally where they are tough. Simply bend the spear near the bottom end and it will break off at the right point. Or, remove an inch or so of the "woody" portion off the bottom of the stalks with a sharp knife.

My family absolutely LOVED this dish. I didn't have peppercorn ranch so I substituted parmesan ranch.I couldn't get enough.

This recipe is VERY GOOD! I wouldn't change a thing. I couldn't stop eatting it, and I'm not that fond of veggies.

I loved this. I used a creamy garlic dressing because it was on hand and I actually cooked it in the toaster oven. I think next time i might try it with french's fried onions instead of crackers.

Very easy to make. Had a very good flavor. Just make sure that it is cooked long enough. I will simmer the asparagus a little longer the next time I make it. Other than that it is the perfect side in little time.

This was very, very good. The crunch of the crackers w/the creamy sauce is wonderful. Even my little 4 yr old was loving this.

I had this at Easter, so good! My sister-in-law sent me the recipe. Can't wait to make it myself!

This is a wonderful addition to my recipes. The sauce that develops from the peppercorn ranch dressing and the shredded cheese is marvelous. I have made it several times and have really enjoyed it.
